It is a well known fact that sunscreen is vital for protecting the sensitive skin of your children. However, it is almost equally important to protect your child's feet at the beach. The ocean often washes up glass and other waste materials onto the beach not to mention the hot sand may burn the sensitive soles of a child. How do you protect your child's feet? There are many comfortable options in child's swim footwear that not only offer protection but are also easy to use.
Neoprene Beach Booties are a good choice they not only offer protection but also dry quickly. Pool shoes or Wet shoes are another great choice for foot protection at the beach or poolside. The non-skid soles of these shoes offer great protection from slippery pool surfaces. These products have become very popular over the years and can be found in a variety of colors and designs to match your child's beach wear. Comfortable designs that utilize use of hook and loop or elastic fasteners make these shoes easy to get on and off.
Parents should also note that a child's foot grows about every six months so last year's swim shoes will not do for this swim season. Swim shoes should be replaced every swim season. Just like regular shoes for your child, swim shoes should fit with about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch gap at the toe for wiggle room. So get out there and purchase your summer fun equipment now and don't forget the swim shoes! |
